What Planet Can I Blame This On?
The stars are not in position - and Krystal Baker is determined to make them fall in line.
It's Krystal's 29th birthday. This
Her boyfriend finally proposed after six years of dating (only for her to find out he cheated on her for five and a half of them) She landed her dream job as a writer at Craze magazine (which swiftly fell into administration) She moved into her dream flat overlooking the city (just for the pipes to explode making the place unlivable) As she mourns everything wrong in her life, her best friend mutters the dreaded Saturn Return. The time in a woman's life where Saturn returns to the position it was in on the day of their birth, 29.5 years ago, and, according to legend, everything goes to shit. Krystal has never bought into astrology but maybe it's time to re-evaluate - because if the stars got her into this mess, they can get her out of it. And she only has six months to make things right.
Loaded with crystals, horoscopes, tarot cards and a carefully aligned chakra or two, Krystal's determined to have her life back on track by the time Saturn returns. No longer shall she brand herself a 'human disaster' because this time it's not her fault, it's written in the treacherous stars.
It's Krystal versus the universe in a fight for her future that she's determined to win.

Okay I’m not a frequent / good review writer so forgive what might seem like an unstructured review! This book started off cute and it ended nicely, but I did find myself struggling to get through some bits in the middle. Views on astrology aside I am genuinely glad that it ended with Krystal seeking professional help, becoming introspective, healthily putting her life back together and realising why she had done what she had done - BUT, I personally felt like more time could have been spent on the chapters to do with her discovering those lessons, and looking inwards. At risk of making this rather personal it is possible I feel this way because I myself am struggling trying to be more self aware and understand why I have the thoughts I have / do the things i do, so maybe I would have appreciated if the book (albeit fiction lol) gave some due respect / acknowledgement to the amount of time and work that it takes to make such changes (lol or maybe books aren’t meant to do this!!). It was a pleasant read nonetheless, but these are my thoughts.

Why didn’t I read this sooner?
I enjoyed this very much. The characters were endearing, and I was quite sad to get to the end and say goodbye. The astrology references were interesting, and it was overall amusing, and represented some evenings well spent. My biggest problem? What am I going to read now? Ah! That’s what she said!
